I started by putting up a brand new layout at the gallery, I used Amanda’s beautiful Self shoot for the layout. I really hope you like it! Gonna put up a new layout at the main site as well, stay tuned for that.

Amanda is on another cover, the June/July issue of Teen Vogue and she looks absolutley amazing in the fantastic shoot. This is one of my absolute favorite shoots with her. I have added five outstandning outtakes from the shoot and some behind the scenes images to the gallery. The cover of the magazine have also been added to the gallery. Enjoy!

For the second time, Rachel attented the show “The View” on may 27 to promote “Agora” which will be in US and european theatres soon. HQ captures, candids from may 27 and the full clip have been added to the site. Thanks so much to my friend Green who helped me to get the clip online. I really appriciate your help!

P.S: You can now select your favourite gallery theme. I added the feature because I already missed the light green layout with the pictures from Cannes 2009. Hope you like the idea!

Kindly do not redistribute these scans at another Marion Cotillard fan site as they were obtained/donated exclusively for ‘Magnifique Marion Cotillard’. Thank you.

On a sidenote a heads-up if you are currently in Paris. The big shopping center Bon Marché is currently housing the exhibition ELLEN’Cinema on the second floor – for free. Every year they find a way to celebrate the 7th art around the time of the Cannes Film Festival. Photographs of many actors & actresses – including Marion Cotillard – as well as short films by photographer Ellen von Unwerth are on display May 6 – June 19, 2010.

James McAvoy has signed on to play a young Charles Xavier, aka Professor X, in “X-Men: First Class,” which Matthew Vaughn is directing for Fox.

According to Fox, “First Class” will “chart the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were the closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.”

Patrick Stewart played the character, a bald-headed, wheelchair-bound telepath, in the original “X-Men” trilogy. Fox did not reveal if McAvoy will sport a follicle-free pate.

Fox is moving fast on the production, hiring Vaughn in early May and planning a summer start in London. The movie is being planned for a June 3, 2011, release.

Bryan Singer, who conceived the story for “First Class,” is producing along with Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg.

McAvoy, repped by UTA and Ruth Young/United Agents, already has comic book movie experience, having starred in “Wanted.” The British actor was last seen in “The Last Station.”
